Xeric Award-winning cartoonist Jeff Lemire (Lost Dogs) illustrates the tale of Lester, a recently orphaned 10-year-old who goes to live on his Uncle’s farm. Their relationship grows increasingly strained and Lester befriends the town’s hulking gas station owner, Jimmy Lebeuf. The two escape into a private fantasy world of Superheroes, Alien Invaders and good old-fashioned pond Hockey.
"Jeff Lemire's Tales From The Farm is one of the best books I read last year and I'm glad to see that it's finally coming out through a publisher that consistently brings interesting new talent to the fore. Lemire's going to go places and I'm glad to get to watch him rise." -- beaucoupkevin.com
